ACT
Actors Ensemble of Berkeley welcomes actors of all ages and backgrounds, and just as our shows change each season—so does our need for actors. Auditions are held a few months prior to a show and usually consist of short, prepared monologues and/or cold readings from the script. If you have a résumé and head shot, please bring it; if you don't, no problem—we'd still love to see you!

VOLUNTEER
If you want to help produce, direct, act, create sets, design costumes and props, design or run sound and lights, do make-up, help with lobby operations, publicity, marketing or recruitment... we have a spot for you! (Experience, of course, is welcomed—but certainly not required!) And if you really, really like us (What's not to like?), and you want to keep hanging around—you can become an AE Member which gives you discounted/complimentary tickets, casting preference and a vote in next season's shows.
